Your loft conversion questions answered
Have a question about loft conversions? We’re happy to help. Read our answers to the questions that our customers frequently ask us.
How long does a loft conversion take?
Depending on the size and type, most loft conversions take around 12 weeks.
Will I need to move out during the project?
No – it’s safe to carry on living inside the property. We work from the scaffolding before the stairs go in. Any disruption you experience will mainly come from noise.
Where will you place our new staircase?
We will be able to fit your staircase around your existing layout and will find an option to suit you. If possible, we will try to fit your new staircase over the existing staircase so that it fits seamlessly within your property.
Do I need planning permission for a loft conversion?
This depends on your location and type of property – all flats require planning, but if you live in a house that isn’t in a designated area, then permitted development is usually used and no planning is required. There are many other factors to take into account and one of our surveyors can advise further.
How much does a loft conversion cost?
Most cost between £30,000 and £50,000. This depends on the size and type – bigger and more complicated jobs take longer and therefore will cost more. See pricing information for further details.
What is a party wall agreement and do I need one for a loft conversion?
A party wall agreement (PWA) is required if you have a semi-detached or a terraced property and you are working within or near your neighbour’s boundary. We can advise when the surveyor visits.
Does a loft conversion add value to a home?
Yes – it will add from 20% to 30% upwards depending on the size, design and type.
How much head height do you need for a loft conversion?
If you have a clear head height of 2m then a loft conversion may be possible. Our surveyor will need to assess this to confirm.
What’s possible with your loft conversion?
These are some of the build possibilities you might want to consider for your loft conversion:

The opportunity to create more space
Richmond Road in Raynes Park has a variety of houses including terraces and many semi-detached homes with hipped roofs. To create a bedroom and en-suite within the loft a hip to gable loft conversion would be required. The ridge is extended across the roof and the hip is built out to create a gable roof. A flat roof dormer is then added to the rear elevation.
This construction works is regarded as a permitted development therefore, planning permission is not required and a letter of lawful development is all that is needed. Touchstone Lofts seek this on behalf of the client.
A building regulation officer is instructed for the project and they conduct three visits to ensure the at the works are compliant to current regulations. A building regulation certificate is provided on completion of the works.
How we can achieve a conversion like this for your home
With a hipped roof the best loft conversion is a hip to gable conversion.
Moving home is no easy feat these days, and the costs mount up. A project managed loft conversion from Touchstone Lofts will transform your loft space into a bright and airy bedroom with a fresh and bright en-suite.
